I'm thinking of Casablanca:

Ilsa: Rick, don't you remember Paris?
Rick: Sure, I remember ever detail. The Germans wore gray. You wore a milk crate on your head.

The funniest "caught on security camera" I ever saw was a guy trying to rob a store and to disguise his face, he had put a brown paper grocery store bag on his head with 2 holes cut out for his eyes. Unfortunately for him though, the holes didn't exactly line up with his eyes and he ended up bumping into everything, knocking stuff on the floor, slipping and falling to the floor on dropped items.

Made me laugh out loud, I tell you!

Have you ever seen the vid clip of the convience store robber that whips out his pistol so haphazardly that it flies out of his hand and lands on the counter right in front of the clerk?

The clerk simply picks it up, aims at the perp, and the perp falls all over himself trying to scramble back out the front door!

Nope, missed that one.

I tried doing a search for a site that has stupid criminal videos/security camera but didn't have much luck.

So far, nobody has asked the obvious question:

"Why the hell did he do that????"
